Introducing the 2âł SKRIMPIN Open Pour Bait Mold!
Crafted for serious bait makers and DIY lure enthusiasts, the 2âinch SKRIMPIN mold delivers realistic shrimpâstyle soft plastics with ease. Each cavity features an elongated head, segmented body, and fanâtail that mimics live shrimp movementâperfect for targeting redfish, trout, flounder, and other crustaceanâfeeding species. With four cavities per mold, you can pour multiple baits at once and keep your tackle box wellâstocked for the next fishing adventure.
This openâpour design provides even material flow and minimal flashing, making it beginnerâfriendly and efficient for expert pourers alike. The strong cavity walls resist heat distortion, allowing for clean, professionalâgrade lures every time. Whether youâre experimenting with new color recipes, layering multiple tones, or adding custom flake blends, the SKRIMPIN mold makes it easy.
